Weave fearlessly and efficiently on floor looms. We値l collaboratively dress looms with prepared warps and then weave, weave, weave! Each student will explore a variety of woven structures tailored to their skills and interests and will have the opportunity to experiment with materials, patterns, techniques, concepts, and different looms in a fun and inclusive setting. Students will leave with a plethora of samples, plans for future woven work, and the confidence and skills to weave independently on a floor loom. All levels. Taught in a second-floor walk-up studio. Studio fee: $30. Code F02TB

This workshop will walk you through the basics of footwear construction, patterning, and finishing預nd everything in between. Each student will design, pattern, click, close, last, and finish each of their own pairs of shoes or boots. We値l cover three assembly techniques: we値l start with cemented shoes, move to pegged shoes, and then we値l cover hand welting. The workshop will be taught through demonstrations and individual instruction. Be prepared to work hard and be forgiving, as shoemaking is not for the faint of heart. Strong hands are encouraged; a strong will is necessary. All levels. Note: this workshop is taught in a third-floor walk-up studio. Studio fee: $215. Code S00TA

In this workshop students will engage in the multifaceted art form that is shibori, creating resists and dyeing in three different indigo vats to exploit indigo痴 exceptional capabilities. (Additional dyes will also be available.) Through simple geometry and pattern planning, we値l explore the many textures and pattern variables possible with stitched shibori. We値l also cover itajime, cylinder wrapping, binding, and reserving, learning to engineer them in isolation and in combination with stitching to produce unique samples using natural fiber fabrics. A time of personal observation, interpretation, and study will bring the workshop to a close. Students should have basic hand stitching skills. Second-floor walk-up studio. Studio fee: $40. Code S01TB
